Default ICM cooling mod quick Q's

I've been having a missfire/bogged feel so i just did this with instruction from shbox's site. I used four 3/8" washers on each stud (the evap hose bracket is missing)

when i took off the coil/icm bracket i noticed it had a little damage. its a poor quality pic but the "fins" are a little bent. is something i should worry about? or does it not matter?



Also, in this pic from shbox he has the wires and the ground strap both on the right (outboard) stud. on mine the wires were on the left(inboard) stud and the ground strap was on the right stud. i just put them back how they were originally but are they both supposed to be on the right(outboard) stud? (both studs are the same length)



Is the connector for the coil supposed to have three metal things to make contact for the three pins in the coil where it plugs into? mine only has 2...


The finished product - almost 3/4" of space

The fin damage is of no real consequence.

The grounds can go to either stud. Later models may be different than my 95.

Two pins are all that go to your single connector coil.

Yes, the fins are for heat dissipation.
